Game of Life

A collection of poems inspired by the cards in a tarot deck! This little endeavor was conceived in order to let me understand the tarot deck more, so everything is quite experimental, and may be a little confusing as well. Hope you enjoy! ;)

4. III - The Empress

There is one thing all creatures know And crave From their first breaths It is the warmth of the mother And then, a place called home

By the mothers' love We are swaddled and protected By the mothers' hands We are raised and taught All we know, all we love Under her grace May we grow strong

From dawn to dusk the mothers toil Giving their all To their flesh and blood The mothers' children are like the sun Her lifeblood, her all, her everything

To the orphansThe outcasts The helpless The pitiedWho wander this worldLooking for that motherly loveWorry not, forIt is ubiquitousAnd not attached to blood-relationFor any and all may become a motherNurturer of nature And humanity
